Update: I'm going to alternate standard blog posts with stories about sharing the Gospel. Background: This is another share experience I had with the Human Service Center group visiting the Christian Center:

Jakobe listened to me explain the Good News using the Three Circles. Then I asked: "Where would you say you're at today?"

She told me that she believes in the Gospel, but wasn't currently following God's design for her life.

(I've found this response to be one of the most common in the Peoria area. People understand spiritual things, even specifically Christian beliefs, but are not living their lives according to it.)

The good news about this Good News story is that Jakobe has since joined the Discovery Bible Study I've been leading on Thursdays with this group. I'm praying she learns to follow Jesus!

I'm looking for a few people who would want to join me and initiate spiritual conversations with camper families at the Camp of Champions USA Winter Camp program. We'll do some training on how to do it, and then we'll put it into practice!

There are three time commitments: a 1 hour training and then 2 visits to our the Winter Camp program. Reply or comment if you want more information!

This is a video training of a conversation guide that has been super-helpful to me as I seek to initiate Gospel Conversations. View on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/U4CquGvvo-g

Each blog post = One Gospel ShareThis is one of several times I've shared the Good News with a group of people that are at the Christian Center bowling alley. They come with the Human Service Center every Tuesday and Thursday. It's been amazing to see God turn a regular visit with them into Discovery Bible Studies (and hopefully more!).On this specific day I was sharing with Nick. I was explaining that after Jesus died on the cross he rose again and he immediately cut me off: "No he didn't." He either hadn't heard or couldn't fathom that someone could come back to life. I still see Nick weekly so pray for him to understand the Good News and then turn and believe in Jesus.
